All that matters is rendering and form. Normies do not care about anatomy.
Sometimes we do wonky anatomy or perspective on purpose.
>>7899077holy wrong
>>7899077the fuck kind of redline is this
>>7899077no way this is serious post
OP will walk away from this thread pretending he was just baiting, but it's obvious that he's really just this dumb and thinks he's actually better than this artist. This isn't even dunning krueger syndrome, this is just a pure clueless moron.
>>7899106OP was expecting everyone else to dogpile on the artist with him now he closes and hides the thread out of shame hoping the thread expires tomorrow morning
>>7899077Pyw
>>7899077the act of drawing that redline has cursed you with NGMI for the next 80 years
>>7899077the word "pro" has lost all its meaning, why bother with this thread?
>>7899077where's your wo--oh right the redline
>>7899128In this case it's used correctly. This is a skilled artist who makes his living drawing comics.
>>7899143>skilled artistyeah like the rest of them drawing day-in and day-out just to have the means to eat foodthat word "skilled" is of no value in this timeline now
>>7899077They're made of rubber
>>7899077whats worse than OPs profound retardation forcing him to see the characters coat as part of his ASS, is how no one has or is even able to point that out
>>7899164guess it must be botposting hours, huh.>>7899167just because you're the first to state the obvious does not mean you're the first to notice it.
>>7899077Uhm, I know I'm going to get dunked on for this but, how much of a widespread opinion it is that Kagurabachi has generally very bland character design when put next to pretty much any other manga out there? I came to this conclusion after not even comparing it to past works or less mainstream gems, just it's own actual contemporaries shounen like Gachiakuta or Gokurakugai
>>7899077the blue is his jacket retard
>>7899608lmao for a second I was wondering why this dude had a huge dump trunk
I'm assuming they're waiting for JJK to wrap up to adapt this, huh.
>>7899532Is this just going to be the next JJK for your ESL retards?>hm erm actually i think the character designs are actually um... kind of bland? compared to other shounens like [series that have nothing to do with the work being discussed]>yeah um old shounens mangas is much better because the character designs like.. used more color (in a black and white medium)What you fail to understand is that these manga are not aimed at you. They're not aimed at an audience who has seen multiple generations of WSJ manga. The WSJ audience is primarily boys age 10-15. Today that audience is not reading JJK. Because that series ended. That audience isn't reading Naruto or Bleach. Because those series ended. They're reading the current equivalent, because it's new to them. If you think modern shounen manga is bland, then maybe it's time to grow up and read something your age.
>>7899671Can we really call modern shounen for 10 year old boys with the amount of violence in it? JJK isn't anything like what was on around pre 2010, it thins the line.
>>7899676Yes? It's all more tame than Fist of the North Star, which too was a WSJ shounen manga aimed at 10-15 year olds. As was Death Note and that was far more "mature" than either FotNS or JJK. WSJ editorial knows their audience better than you think you do.>JJK isn't anything like what was on around pre 2010, it thins the line.It really doesn't and you thinking this only betrays your own ignorance.
>>7899680WSJ editorial knows it's 29+ grown ahh adults consuming everything.
>>7899676> JJK isn't anything like what was on around pre 2010Aren't people calling JJK the modern version of BLEACH?
>>7899682Wrong and it's obvious based on how they consistently bring in manga that wouldn't be anything new or interesting to said audience. Like I said: WSJ editorial knows their audience better than you think you do.>buh muh blood!!Young boys fucking love blood and violence. They love works that makes them feel mature and smart. WSJ knows what to give them. They've known this for decades, longer than even your 29+ year old adults have been alive.Frankly it's sad that you're so desperate to cling to reading WSJ. There's a whole world of manga out there beyond what's aimed at teen boys y'know. You'd probably like some of it.
>>7899685>Aren't people calling JJK the modern version of BLEACH?no?
>>7899702I don't know if they still call it that but it was a common criticism when it was running.
>>7899688>According to data from Shueisha (the publisher of Weekly Shonen Jump), the majority of readers are now adults>Recent surveys in Japan suggest anime and manga viewership may actually be lowest among modern teenagers, with 33.7% of Japanese teens reporting no interest in anime at all.>25 years or older: 27.4% (The largest single group)>For instance, a 2025 report noted the average age of a One Piece fan is 38 years old.facts don't care about your feelings, sir
>>7899709May I see the source?Also Shueisha has many different publications, including ones aimed at adults. All of these stats can be 100% true and it would not conflict with anything I've said.And One Piece has been ongoing for 30 years now. Why wouldn't its audience be older than new series? That would be what's known as an "exception".
>>7899676I've not read JJK but we had plenty fucked up and high violence shit pre-2010. And if you go far back enough we had tits too.
>>7899709>the majority of readers are now adultsThe only surprise here is the "now". I'd have expected it to always have been the case that the majority of readers were adults, because the majority of people was always adults. That doesn't mean WSJ wouldn't be aiming for the same demographic it has always aimed for.
>>7899715>I've not read JJK butThen it would be hard to see the comparison I'm making but, no, we really haven't. Especially now that anime production quality has 10 folded in the later half of the 10s. Not aimed at 10 year old boys anyway. I'm not talking about the anime that had literal ass and tit shots in your face battle shows or all the ecchi stuff that used to be abundant. I can't remember any "boys manga" touching sensitive topics like literal rape of a child or going on a killing spree to wipe out someone's entire bloodline. It didn't go that far back in the day. It was mostly always just fights that never resulted in anyone dying, just getting ruffed up.
>>7899723>I can't remember any "boys manga" touching sensitive topics like literal rape of a child or going on a killing spree to wipe out someone's entire bloodline.

Barefoot fucking Gen???Get a clue god damn.
>>7899719>doesn't mean WSJ wouldn't be aiming for the same demographic it has always aimed for.Not with their shrinking population. >>7899712https://www.cbr.com/anime-new-survey-teens-not-watching/
>>7899725>Uh, hello? Jojo's Bizarre Adventure...Really nigga? Jojo is comedy and doesn't take itself seriously while JJK does.
>>7899723Berserk, Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, GitS, Gantz, Elfen Lied, Doomed Megalopolis, Corpse Party, Battle Royale.All featured adult themes, violence, or both.
>>7899732Forgot to add Bokurano
>>7899731There's some gnarly violence in it sometimes, and part 1 had a scene where Dio turns a woman into a vampire and makes her eat her own baby. Or maybe it was the other way around.
>>7899728>>7899709>https://www.cbr.com/anime-new-survey-teens-not-watching/>ctrl-f Shueisha>0 resultsThis article is about anime viewership, not manga, and the article cites "Japanese research company Dream Train Internet Co. analyzed data from 500 female and male participants in Japan aged 15 to 59" as its source. Not Shueisha, and notably does not actually poll 少年, on top of being a pretty small sample size.So either you're holding out on me with the actual source or you're just straight up making shit up.>>7899731That's extremely disengenuous. JJBA has some goofy moments but takes itself quite seriously, and that wouldn't change all the gore and violent deaths throughout the series. On top of at least partially being about a crazy vampire excplicitly trying to wipe out the protagonist's bloodline.>>7899732Is this a falseflagging samefag? There's not a single WSJ series in that list.
>>7899738>Is this a falseflagging samefag?Nah, I just missed the part about WSJ, I thought the other retard said JJK was the first ever shonen to be as violent and serious with its themes.
>>7899740Right. Well to be fair on you he only mentioned "boys manga", but all or at least most of those are seinen manga, aimed at 17-25+ y/o dudes.
>>7899738>This article is about anime viewership, not mangaWhat difference does it make? If I pull the stats up it's still trending to grown adults.And yes>>7899741I'm talking about >boys manga or animeSo if you're saying JJK is for literal 10 year olds then I don't know what to tell you because you've been sensitized to violence. In Dragon Ball Z or Naruto a fight will go on for a few chapters and no one will die. Now it's certain death in modern "shounen".
>>7899744>What difference does it make? If I pull the stats up it's still trending to grown adults.The difference is that manga is not anime and anime is not manga. You might as well be citing articles about teenagers watching less movies to support your claim that teenagers play less video games.>So if you're saying JJK is for literal 10 year olds then I don't know what to tell you because you've been sensitized to violence.I don't know what to tell YOU buddy. Oh wait, yes I do. READ THE FUCKING MANGA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Dragon Ball has people dying all the fucking time. FAMOUSLY SO. Even in the anime, which for some reason you can't stop talking about in a discussion of manga. WSJ is aimed at young boys by virtue of being CALLED WEEKLY SHOUNEN JUMP. The word 少年 is plastered in bold letters across the cover of every single issue. Do you think they do that just crossing fingers that the shounen of Japan wouldn't pick it up and read it? It's not a fucking made up word.
>>7899746>WSJ is aimed at young boysThe young boys aren't consuming anime and manga. They're too busy playing Apex Legends and Monster Hunter.>Do you think they do that just crossing fingers that the shounen of Japan wouldn't pick it up and read it?They're not picking it up by their own volition, so they don't need to worry. So more violence is added in modern shounen to cater to older demographic. >Dragon Ball has people dying all the fucking timeit's just a bunch of aliens and androids killing each other. Dragon Ball was during a era when you could make a shooting game and not put an ESRB rating.
>>7899751And also I don't know why you typed that out in Kanji as if you came from reddit. Most people here can read Japanese you know.
>>7899751>it's just a bunch of aliens and androids killing each other.Both Goku and Krilin have gotten their chest pierced through at least once each. The Cell saga involved a monster going around cities stabbing and sucking people from the inside. Original DB had people getting gunned down by terrorists.
>>7899751>The young boys aren't consuming anime and manga. They're too busy playing Apex Legends and Monster Hunter.>They're not picking it up by their own volitionGot a source for that?>it's just a bunch of aliens and androids killing each other. Dragon Ball was during a era when you could make a shooting game and not put an ESRB rating.>goalpost moving>>7899752This is getting pathetic.
>>7899741To stick to WSJ publications, there's Hunter x Hunter and YuYu Hakusho, both with plenty violence and fucked up shit. One of YYH's villains' motivation was having seen a VHS tape of WW2 torture/rape/mutilation so horrible he decided humanity is not worth existing.
>>7899756>Both GokuAlien deaths don't matter>Krilin brought back to life anyway>The Cell saga involved a monster going around cities stabbing and sucking people from the inside.Very tame, not that violent. >Original DB had people getting gunned down by terrorists.goofy depiction, tame>>7899758Is that image supposed to drive a point in my favor? Goku is an alien monkey. Nobody cares.
>>7899762>>Alien deaths don't matterthe characters in Jarjar Kaisen are magicians and not mere humans, therefore none of their deaths matter.Two can play your retarded game.
>>7899763What about the humans in the Shibuya Incident? They weren't "magicians".
>>7899232>you're the first to notice ityes I am
>>7899764very tame, not that violent, background NPCs, not a major on-screen death
>>7899762WSJ here I come!
>>7899768thread winner
>>7899768Thread over I guess?
>>7899671OP is an /a/ schizo that really hates kagurabachi, likely jeremy. he's been trying to get people to hate it by larping as annoying fans, trying to pick fights with every fandom under the sun and i guess now he wanted to fish for negative opinions on the manga's art to post back in the wsj general.you can tell it's the schizo because he brought up gachiakuta and gokurakugai, two mangas he keeps insisting are hated by kagurabachi fans back in said general.
OP you have autism
>>7900591That's true but I wasn't replying to OP.
>>7899077its a traced 3d model the assistant just threw some toner over.
>>7901077dumbest post I've read all month
>>7901153He posts it in any thread related to manga. I'd call it astroturfing if it wasn't just some guy's favorite bait.
>>7901040the guy you replied to is also op pretending to be another anon. he posted the same thing almost word for word back in his home thread and replied to it 5 times agreeing with himself.
>>7901284Yeah, likely so.
This is the work of a "pro" mangaka whose series got popular and successful enough to get a full anime TV series produced by a top shelf studiop.You don't even need rendering or form.
>>7901442I feel like the industry does this every now and then as a humiliation ritual for aspiring creatives.
>>7901455If "the industry" could decide what was popular then they'd always hit.It's what readers buy that determines what is successful and while publishers try as hard as they can, they can't make anybody buy anything.
